Sacramento, CA Steps Forward needs your help!
Sacramento Steps Forward needs your help! Please see the message below regarding the opportunity to participate
in reviewing and scoring project applications for new projects and the
past performance of certain federally-funded homeless
housing and services projects (HUD Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance
grants). The panel will rank programs and recommend programs for
funding.
If
you've already responded to this call for volunteers, thank you!
You'll hear from HomeBase as soon as HUD opens the competition and
meeting dates can be determined.
Sacramento Steps Forward Calls for Volunteers!
Serve your community and influence homeless housing and services
in Sacramento!
Our community is working hard to address homelessness; this is your chance to contribute to a solution!
Who:
Anyone with an interest in homelessness-related issues in Sacramento, including local government employees, service providers, current and formerly homeless individuals, or community members, especially those who have experience funding or providing homeless housing or services.
No prior experience in evaluating programs is necessary.
However, panelists must not have a conflict of interest. Panel members
must not have any affiliation with (e.g. be employed by, a client of,
consultant to, etc.) any of the programs that the panel will evaluate. If you think you may have a conflict, we will be happy to let you know whether you qualify to serve on the panel.
What:
Participate in reviewing and scoring project applications for new projects and the past performance of certain federally-funded homeless housing and services projects (HUD Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance grants). The panel will rank programs and recommend programs for funding.
When:
In
late July, August or September, panelists will attend a two-hour
training and will receive project materials, which they will have
approximately one to two weeks to read and consider. Panelists will
then meet for up to two days to discuss and score the programs. All
told, panelists should plan to spend about 30 hours on this project.
Why:
Because homelessness concerns everyone in our community! We need your help to prepare the application for the millions of dollars in federal funding that makes these homeless housing and services projects available to the most vulnerable among us.

Important Note:
Volunteering now is NOT a final commitment. We are thrilled that you're interested in helping, and we will contact you soon (once HUD announces dates) with final dates to confirm your availability and that you are not conflicted.
